Cat Eyes Surgery
Subtle reshaping of the eye area through temporal elevation
Cat Eyes is not a separate “trend procedure”.
It is a variation of temporal lift techniques focused on the eye area.
Cat Eyes, Almond Eyes, Bella Eyes — all refer to the same concept.
Different names, one anatomical approach.
At Estetica Lounge, this procedure is performed as a controlled elevation of the outer eye and brow area — not as an exaggerated transformation.
What is Cat Eyes surgery?
Cat Eyes surgery is a surgical technique that lifts the outer corner of the eye and the lateral brow.
It is based on:
- temporal lift principles
- soft tissue repositioning
- correct vector of elevation
The goal is to create a more elongated, slightly lifted eye shape.
Not sharp. Not artificial. Controlled and anatomical.
What effect does it create?
- elongation of the eye shape
- elevation of the outer eye corner
- more defined lateral brow position
- “almond-shaped” eye appearance
- more expressive, lifted взгляд
The key is proportion.
Too much lift creates distortion. Correct lift creates elegance.
Important to understand
This procedure is often misunderstood.
Cat Eyes is not about “pulling the eyes”.
It is about repositioning the surrounding tissues.
Also:
In advanced facial surgery, especially during a Deep Plane Facelift, elements of temporal lifting are often included.
That means a Cat Eyes effect can be achieved as part of a larger, more complete facial correction — not always as a standalone procedure.
Who is a good candidate?
- naturally downturned outer eye corners
- heavy or drooping lateral brow
- desire for a more elongated eye shape
- mild asymmetry in the eye area
- patients looking for a defined but natural enhancement
It is especially popular among younger patients, but requires careful planning to avoid overcorrection.
How is the procedure performed?
Depending on the case, it can be done under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia.
- small incisions are placed in the temporal hairline
- soft tissues are lifted in a specific vector
- fixation is used to maintain the new position
- the outer eye area is subtly elevated
The work is done through surrounding structures, not by directly cutting the eye.
Will it look unnatural?
It can — if done aggressively.
The “over-pulled fox eyes” look is usually the result of:
- incorrect vector
- excessive tension
- poor anatomical planning
At Estetica Lounge, the approach is conservative and controlled.
The result should look like a natural feature, not a surgical effect.
Can it be combined with other procedures?
Yes, and often it gives a better result.
Most common combinations:
- Temporal Lift
- Eyelid Aesthetic (Blepharoplasty)
- Endoscopic Midface Lift
- Deep Plane Facelift
- Facial Fat Injection
Combination allows better balance between upper, mid, and lower face.
Recovery
Recovery is similar to temporal lift.
First days
Mild swelling, tightness in the temple area.
7–10 days
Visible improvement, swelling decreases.
2 weeks
Return to normal routine.
1–3 months
Final softening and natural appearance.
How long does the result last?
The result is long-lasting, but not permanent.
- typically several years
Longevity depends on:
- skin quality
- facial anatomy
- aging process
Scars
Incisions are hidden within the hairline.
With proper healing, they are minimal and not visible.
Why Estetica Lounge
We do not treat Cat Eyes as a “trend”.

No exaggerated results. No artificial shapes.
